I agree with you 100%!

I also share the enthusiasm of Floyd and others about this amazing software. I have written and produced hundreds of songs that I really love and that would never have been possible without BIAB. I've even made enough money with my work to almost offset the yearly upgrade costs. So, I am very happy with BIAB.

My interests have mostly been with classic rock, country and folk and maybe a bit of alternative rock. These are areas where BIAB absolutely excels. I can come up with an idea for a bluegrass or country or rock or folk song, write some lyrics, write a melody and then enter chords into BIAB, audition some styles and minutes later I have something as good as many professionally written and produced songs (at least to my ears!)

But I disagree with the claims that creating modern music with BIAB is anywhere near as easy as creating classic music with BIAB. When I'm focusing on classic stuff BIAB is like an encyclopedia of suitable styles, all ready to go with very minimal alteration needed. But when I want to write something more modern BIAB is far less helpful, at least to me. And yes, I get that you CAN create any kind of music in BIAB. But the whole point of BIAB, at least for me, is to help me quickly lay down the instrument tracks. If I have to do the same heavy lifting in BIAB that I would do with libraries from Toontrack or Native then honestly I'd much rather use TT and NI in my DAW.

So, I also appeal the the devs and coders and PG to focus a LOT more on modern music. I go further and say we have enough bluegrass, country, jazz and rock tracks so a focus more on modern stuff would be most welcome to me.
